based on the 17th century classic allegory, this is a non-religious reinterpretation based on its universal themes of struggle,enlightenment, and transition.
"Under thy shadow by the piers I waited; Only in darkness is thy shadow clear. The City's fiery parcels all undone, Already snow submerges an iron year . . .
O Sleepless as the river under thee, Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod, Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend And of the curveship lend a myth to God."
